Voter pre-registration if permitted in Minnesota until 21 days before an election.

The last day to pre-register before the Primary Election is July 19, 2016. The last day to pre-register for the General Election is October 18, 2016. You may register to vote by completing a Voter Registration Application available at County Offices, City Hall or the Secretary of State’s website. Click here for a Voter Registration Application. You can also complete your registration online.

Your registration remains current until you move, change your name, or don’t vote for four consecutive years. To update your information you must complete a Voter Registration Application.

After you have registered, you will receive a postcard with information about where you vote and your name will appear on the list of voters at your polling place. If you are unable to register at least 21 days before Election Day you can register on Election Day at the polling place.
